Inside Joseph's Golem Shop, a First Circle wizard wearing a wizard robe with a badge showing a hamr and anvil crossed on his chest said to Locke and Alicia, "Honored guests, the first floor is the apprentice level area, and the second floor is the First Circle wizard area."
"Please follow ."
When Locke and Alicia ascended to the second floor, they saw a magic painting of a dwarf wizard on the wall in the second-floor corridor. The dwarf wizard in the magic painting made faces and raised his eyebrows at everyone who passed by.
At the sa ti, above his head was a phrase written on the magic painting: [The key to the next generation of wizard warfare revolution lies in breakthroughs in golem technology.]
The First Circle dwarf wizard of Joseph's Golem Shop, who was also an alchemist, proudly pointed at the portrait and proclaid, "This is a dwarf wizard, Third Circle wizard, alchemy grandmaster, Throne Wizard, recipient of the Thousand Alchemists Program Fund, Grand Wizard Corey Shiro."
The dwarf wizard spoke of Wizard Corey with great animation and pride. "Wizard Corey is a Third Circle wizard from the Dragonfall Land."
"In the Alchemy School, his main research direction is defensive golems. Joseph's Golem Shop is entirely his enterprise and has opened branches in various wizard lands. All the money earned by the entire enterprise is only used for self-sufficiency."
Locke noticed that throughout the shop's corridors, the sa phrase from the magic painting was written everywhere: [The key to the next generation of wizard warfare revolution lies in breakthroughs in golem technology.]
Locke ford a conjecture. "So the purpose of Wizard Corey opening this shop is to make everyone see these slogans on the walls?"
The dwarf wizard imdiately turned around, extrely worshipful. "No, Master Corey is not that bored. The main purpose of Master Corey opening these enterprises is to make all wizards more supportive of developing the golem industry."
"With Master Corey's status, he naturally plays a role in bridging magical categories. So opening this shop both provides services to all wizards and allows all wizards to understand the role of golems, and in the future contribute to golem research."
Locke pressed his lips together. In other words, Grand Wizard Corey really did open Joseph's Shop to make everyone see these slogans of his.
Well, for upper-level wizards, earning magic stones was no longer the only benefit.
They had many other interests.
Precisely because upper-level wizards' interests differed sowhat from lower-level wizards' interests, lower-level wizards could catch a bit of the at that flowed through the gaps between upper-level wizards' fingers.
The dwarf wizard introduced, "This shop provides standard testing services for second-class wizard apprentices at 100 magic stones per session, for first-class wizard apprentices at 500 magic stones per session, and for First Circle wizards, the standard testing service is divided into four levels."
"The most basic sparring test service is 1,000 magic stones, where you can only choose one from iron golems, clay golems, stone golems, or flesh golems."
"This is the most basic service with limited effects, difficult to test a First Circle wizard's true power, and even more unable to test so relatively advanced experints."
"Then there's the 3,000 magic stone level, the 5,000 magic stone level, and the 10,000 magic stone level."
"Among them..."
Alicia waved her hand. "Just give the 10,000 magic stone sparring test service directly."
The dwarf wizard glanced at Alicia and imdiately bowed to her. "Lady Alicia, you're as generous as ever. I was introducing and explaining to your friend since this is his first visit to our shop."
"Lady Alicia, you're an old VIP mber of our shop. According to convention, all services for you receive a ten percent discount, so it only costs 9,000 magic stones."
After collecting the magic stones, the dwarf wizard imdiately led the way, guiding them into the depths of the second-floor corridor. Locke heard deafening sounds from many rooms in the corridor, produced by so kind of massive impacts.
It seed quite a few First Circle wizards entered this shop to rent golems for magical experints.
This was still quite useful.
After all, conducting verification experints required considerable cost. So wizard academies couldn't afford such expensive equipnt to conduct large-scale verification, but they could rent golems at Joseph's Golem Shop for experintal verification.
In this way, both parties got what they needed.
The dwarf wizard brought them to a room door. The magic lock on the magical alloy door had a voice password.
The dwarf wizard spoke with an extrely respectful tone, calling out, "Missing the developnt of golem technology is equivalent to missing the entire world!"
'Click~'
The magic door opened, revealing the interior which had been cast with a spatial folding spell by Evocation School wizards, possessing gigantic interior space.
Alicia and Locke exchanged sowhat embarrassed glances. Joseph's Golem Shop almost wanted to turn the idea that [golems are most important] into a First Circle spell from the Necromancy School, [Thought Stamp], and brand it into their brains.
Well, after all, this was the shop's reason for existing. They were able to enjoy the convenience this shop brought because of it, so they just pretended they hadn't heard anything.
The dwarf wizard pointed at this sparring test room that cost 10,000 magic stones per day and said, "In the sky of this highest-level sparring test room within the First Circle, there is an iron golem processing workshop, academically known as the All-tal Demon Incubation Workshop."
"This was Wizard Corey's invention during his First Circle crystallization stage. It can collect surrounding materials while fighting, and process and repair golems."
"You can freely choose various types of golems here. The minimum level of these golems is all First Circle, and the maximum combat power can be equivalent to crystallization stage wizards. There are a total of seven levels of golems. Level 1-3 golems are for ordinary wizards, and level 4-7 golems correspond to wizards from the vaporization stage to the crystallization stage respectively."
"This Demon Incubation Workshop is essentially a tactical-level weapon of our Alchemy School. When deployed on the battlefield, it can quickly change the situation of a local battlefield."
"Currently, I've opened for you the energy usage rights for 24 hours of the All-tal Demon Incubation Workshop. Using level 1-6 golems won't consu too much energy, but if you use level 7 golems, each use will drastically consu the remaining energy of the All-tal Demon Incubation Workshop."
"According to this energy scale, if you use a golem equivalent to the crystallization stage, the energy can only support using this workshop for three hours."
The dwarf wizard pointed at a curved stone plate on the ground. The curved stone plate had an iron pointer. As the dwarf wizard injected a stream of energy into the curved stone plate, the iron pointer on it rotated accordingly, corresponding to the 24-hour mark.
Locke looked and discovered the highest scale on the stone plate was three days.
If according to what the dwarf wizard just said, didn't that an he could use this All-tal Demon Incubation Workshop to summon three golems equivalent to crystallization wizards?
That was sowhat terrifying.
Truly worthy of being an invention from a Third Circle wizard, a Throne Wizard's crystallization stage.
The combat power was astonishing.
If this thing were suddenly pulled out during battle, that would be too frightening.
Locke raised his head to look at the ceiling. He saw a large egg-shell-shaped machine on the ceiling, and the large machine had a magic barrier preventing him from approaching.
That must be the All-tal Demon Incubation Workshop.
Before leaving, the dwarf wizard continued saying, "As long as golem technology continues to develop, it can improve detection technology. Many magical technologies lack detection capabilities, so their developnt has been slow."
"Just like you now need to use golems to test your spells, golem technology is so important."
The dwarf wizard left.
After he left, Locke confird he hadn't used Necromancy School magic on himself and Alicia to quietly alter their cognition, and only then relaxed.
As an old custor here, Alicia said to Locke, "Locke, let's first summon ten level 1 iron golems."
Locke spread out his right hand, "You're the paying custor. I'm just borrowing your sparring session, so you make the decision."
Alicia smiled, then shot a beam of magical radiance toward the sky above. Imdiately, the All-tal Demon Incubation Workshop on the ceiling vibrated, with sounds like gears shing and steam roaring.
Before the two could react, the egg-like incubation workshop opened a passage, and golems descended from above, falling toward the ground.
They smashed out crater after crater on the ground.
Iron golems as tall as four-story buildings climbed up from the ground, wielding massive steel axes and great shields. Moreover, their entire bodies were protected by thick and precise plate armor, like beasts born from steel, their eyes releasing dangerous red light.
The iron golems' eyes imdiately released red light, locking onto Locke. Red dots concentrated on Locke and Alicia.
"Shall combat testing be executed imdiately? Note: You may request to stop testing at any ti."
Alicia said to Locke, "Locke, I've been here several tis before and always rented the highest-level test room."
"So you go first."
Locke nodded slightly without being polite. He had recently developed several new plant spells and also developed several new magical plants. He indeed needed to properly test their combat performance using these magical plants.
